<h1>Cutting Tool</h1>
<p>As its name suggests, Cutting Tool cuts the origami along the <a href="ruler.html">Ruler</a>.
<p>If <a href="selectionmode.html">Selection Mode</a> is active, the area containing the red cross will be removed. Otherwise, all the external parts relative to the Ruler will be removed.
